Calendar Event Sorting
At the top, the 24/7/365 SAMHSA Disaster Helpline and similar links.
Next, Bundled “All Day” Events
Some organizations (like 12 step recovery programs, AA, NA, AlAnon, etc.) have so many events happening throughout the day that they need to be in a bundled listing to spare endless scrolling. Often there is a link to look up events by zip code and other criteria.
Lastly, Time-Specific Events
So you can see what’s happening in the next hours, time specific events are tagged and listed by start time from 12:01am early morning to 11:59pm late night. There can be events and warmlines operating in different time zones, though we try to list all in Oregon’s Pacific Time Zone.

VIRTUAL WELLNESS SUPPORT GROUP
Mondays through Fridays – 3:30 – 4:30 PM PT
Multiplied BY One Org: Trauma and Dissociative Disorders
Religious Trauma Syndrome
High -Control Groups
Fridays 4:45pm PST
Those who grew up in a high-control religion or cult may experience intense feelings of anxiety similar to CPTSD. This can include ex-Mormon, ex-Scientologists, or exJW.
The discussion is not of explicit details of traumatic events but of the surrounding context of trauma. Topics may include Fight, Flight, Fight, Freeze responses, guilt, shame, or denial of one’s own abuse. While pertaining to a more serious topic, this group is also very uplifting as the members are a source of encouragement to each other in sharing feedback and experiences.
The group last one hour and fifteen minutes. The first 15 minutes are what we refer to as “Additional” where members can settle in and get to know each other in a casual way before the structure starts.
At the start of the hour, when someone is new, the host will point out the “Support Space” breakout room that can be joined at any time if someone feels triggered, needs extra support, or needs to step away. The co-host will join them to see if they need to vent, ground, or what support they can offer.
The majority of the calls are conversation-style topic chats. Members may propose a topic to the group. If a topic feels too strong for anyone to handle, they may Direct Message one of the hosts in the text chat for it to be anonymously waived.
How To Attend
Intake triage calls over Zoom are required to ensure safety in the groups and are held in a kind and welcoming manner.
How the groups are run:
- Weekly conversation-style topic chats, run by two hosts via Zoom video
- An unstructured first 15 minutes to settle in before the group hour
- A “Support Space” breakout room for when a member needs extra support with the co-host
- Group calls are scheduled via a private network where chats and forums allow members to connect throughout the week within their categories.
The group stance on inclusivity: When it comes to ethnicity, gender, and gender identity, the only thing we do not tolerate is intolerance. Multiplied By One Org is LGBTQ–inclusive, which includes EVERY letter.
Points To Note
Applicants must be aged 18 and up.

DID is a diagnostic label for when a person experiences two or more identity states known as Alters*, each with their own likes, ages, genders, and sometimes symptoms. Those with DID experience co-consciousness as well as amnesia barriers during switches.
Group discussion is not of explicit details of traumatic events but of the surrounding context of trauma. Topics may include Fight, Flight, Fight, Freeze responses, guilt, shame, or denial of one’s own abuse. While pertaining to a more serious topic, this group is also very uplifting as the members are a source of encouragement to each other in sharing feedback and experiences.
The group last one hour and fifteen minutes. The first 15 minutes are what we refer to as “Additional” where members can settle in and get to know each other in a casual way before the structure starts.
At the start of the hour, when someone is new, the host will point out the “Support Space” breakout room that can be joined at any time if someone feels triggered, needs extra support, or needs to step away. The co-host will join them to see if they need to vent, ground, or what support they can offer.
The majority of the calls are conversation-style topic chats. Members may propose a topic to the group. If a topic feels too strong for anyone to handle, they may Direct Message one of the hosts in the text chat for it to be anonymously waived.
How To Attend
Intake triage calls over Zoom are required to ensure safety in the groups and are held in a kind and welcoming manner.
How the groups are run:
- Weekly conversation-style topic chats, run by two hosts via Zoom video
- An unstructured first 15 minutes to settle in before the group hour
- A “Support Space” breakout room for when a member needs extra support with the co-host
- Group calls are scheduled via a private network where chats and forums allow members to connect throughout the week within their categories.
The group stance on inclusivity: When it comes to ethnicity, gender, and gender identity, the only thing we do not tolerate is intolerance. Multiplied By One Org is LGBTQ–inclusive, which includes EVERY letter.

Please know that the Community Resource Finder is purely an informational tool. This means that the Alzheimer’s Association and AARP do not vet, evaluate, recommend or endorse any particular provider. Providers are solely responsible for keeping their information current. Although the data is expected to be reliable, users are advised to verify it independently, as it can change, and it is not guaranteed to be complete and accurate. Visit our tips section for guidance on evaluating and choosing options that best suit your needs.
The Community Resource Finder is powered by HealthlinkDimensions, which aggregates and maintains basic information about licensed senior service providers in the U.S. from several hundred sources at the federal, state, and local levels as well as through senior service membership organizations. Basic information about non-licensed providers is collected from private sources. Information is collected when providers complete a free Provider Profile, outlining the care and services they offer. HealthlinkDimensions is solely responsible for this activity. Additionally, program information from the Alzheimer’s Association and AARP is compiled.
